No layer left
Every other canvas in Painted Idols keeps a layer between the woman and you. This painting of Lindsey has none.
That turned out to be far harder to paint than any amount of ink or latex. There is nothing to hide behind, for her or for me, and after months of painting women who are very good at being looked at, it stopped me cold.
What do you do with it?
Inspired by a photograph of Lindsey Pelas. First of two canvases of Lindsey. What the painting makes of it is my doing, not hers. Part of Painted Idols.
Buying is the easy part
The photograph this came from was made to be forgotten. This canvas was not. It took weeks, and it will hang on a wall for years.
Ordering takes a minute. Deciding where it goes is the part that takes nerve, because everyone who walks into that room will see it and decide something about you. That is the real decision, and it is yours. The ones who own these stop noticing the reaction after about a month, and never stop noticing the painting. Hang it anyway.
There is one of this canvas and there will never be a second. If you have read this far, you are already picturing the wall.
In a room
An impression of Lindsey (White Blouse) in a room. The room is imagined; the canvas is the real work. It is not a measurement: the size is in the details above.
